Pavement politics: Assange watchers and the long wait outside the embassyhttps://www.theguardian.com/media/2012/aug/17/julian-assange-embassy-zoe-williams
Online talk about the Wikileaks founder often descends into insults, but the debate outside is heated, friendly and alive<p>On Thursday afternoon, the atmosphere outside the Ecuadorean embassy was vibrant. Inside was Julian Assange, granted asylum by President Rafael Correa, presumably doing whatever it is he's been doing since he sought refuge there in June.</p><p>An anonymous supporter said: "He's got his computer, so he's bound to be all right." For the embassy staff, it must be like having a teenage stepson, the price of a much desired union but maybe a bit of a pain in the neck. But the critical question now is not how to live with him, but how to arrange it so they can go back to living without him.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2012/aug/17/julian-assange-embassy-zoe-williams">Continue reading...</a>Julian AssangeMediaWikiLeaksEcuadorAmericasWorld newsLondonUK newsExtraditionUK criminal justiceLawFri, 17 Aug 2012 18:00:02 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/media/2012/aug/17/julian-assange-embassy-zoe-williamsPhotograph: Nils Jorgensen/Rex FeaturesMedia, bystanders, supporters and critics gather outside the Ecuadorean embassy where Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been granted political asylum.
